Article 2 of this Order substitutes the Schedule to this Order for Schedule 2 to the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967 (Departments etc subject to investigation).

Article 3 amends paragraph 2 of Schedule 3 to the 1967 Act by extending the limitations to the exclusions from the Parliamentary Commissioner’s jurisdiction in that paragraph. It removes from the exclusions, and thus brings within the investigatory remit of the Parliamentary Commissioner, the actions of officers in control zones and supplementary control zones, and the actions of British sea-fishery officers taken outside the United Kingdom.

Article 4 adds the Asylum Support Adjudicators to the list of tribunals the administrative functions of whose administrative staff may be subject to investigation by the Parliamentary Commissioner under the terms of section 5(7) of the Act; and deletes the tribunals referred to in article 4(b) from that list.
